************

It is that time of year again; the time when summer reading programs kick-off at the local library and kids have an opportunity to earn more than a good read (as if the joy of a good read isn’t enough, right?).

As a child, I spent a good deal of time in our local library. There was reading hour, craft hour, and even special events on several weekends throughout the year. And, of course, they had a summer reading program too, which I never missed.

Our library was small enough to be in the parking lot of a smallish mall. In the summer, my momma would drop me off at the library with a friend. We stayed at the library for about two hours, carefully selecting our week’s reads, and then sprawling across the various chairs and bean bags in the reading area to talk and skim through our books.

Once we had enough of that, we would walk across the parking lot to the mall for a scoop (or two) of Baskin Robbins ice cream and visit the gift shop where we painstakingly selected what to buy with our allowance. I tended to buy bookmarks and stickers because girls traded both of these items at school.

To this day I have a thing for bookmarks and sticker collections, which brings me to today’s giveaway!

First, once affixed to the book’s spine or cover, they don’t fall off; this is helpful for people, like me, who take books everywhere they go, but get frustrated when the bookmark falls off or unsticks (post-its).

This Bookjig gives new meaning to the question, “What does the fox say?”

Next, the bookmark’s ribbon is long, so it extends the full length of the page on all my books, making it easy to see and flip to where I left off.

Finally, THEY ARE ADORABLE. Right now, there are over 80 designs from which to choose.

There has been a lot going on in our life lately, and I’ve been clinging to God’s Word on Wisdom, so it was the first Bookjig I selected. It was initially clipped to my bible’s cover, but today I decided to move it to the spine.

Unlike when I’m reading a novel, I flip through different books and chapters of my bible regularly, and I don’t always come back to the same exact space I left off from; it makes more sense to have the Bookjig clipped on the spine.

That said, with the novels or health books I read, I always pick-up where I left off, so the cover is the perfect spot to lodge the Bookjig.

These Bookjigs are a big hit in our home. Meredith’s favorite is Amour. Who can resist a Paris Kitty?

In addition to the other two, I fell in love with the Squirrel Bookjig, because hey, his tail makes an “S” for “Sanders”, oh, and his “tail” marks the “tale”.

See what I did there?

Seriously, forcing me to choose only two of those adorable book jigs is just not fair. But I love “stems” and “paradise”. And books????? We are reading:
The Fault in Our Stars
Looking for Alaska
Mockingjay
City of Bones
And the Legend trilogy

No serious reading over the summer, just pleasure books!

102

Kim On Friday, May 23 at 2:31 pm

I love these bookmarks! I saw different bookmarks for each different personality in my family too! I have to say I like “Dragons Keep.” I will be reading the Rangers Apprentice series to my younger children. My teenagers will probably be reading some Hercule Poirot. I am giving two of my boys books for their birthdays Brian Jacques and Emily Rodda (Rowan of Rin series). My daughters are reading and rereading Nancy Drew and the Orange Fairy book (need to get Purple and Yellow and a few other various colored Fairy Books). I am rereading the Bruce Alexander series about Sir John Fielding (love these!! its like Sherlock Holmes mixed with a dash of Dickens! Good reading) Also looking forward to the new Will Thomas book coming out (another period mystery series — Barker and Llewelyn are back !!Yahoo! My husband and I have waited sooo long for the newest addition to this series!) Happy reading this summer everyone!!

103

Angela W. On Friday, May 23 at 2:32 pm

Iron blossoms & Pine Cones are the bookjig choices……our books to read this summer are The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy and The Hobbit

104

Dana On Friday, May 23 at 2:33 pm

My daughter and I like the Love and Family Tree bookjigs. My daughter wants to read Chasing the Prophesy by Brandon Mull, 11 Birthdays and Finally, both by Wendy Mass.

105

Jamie On Friday, May 23 at 2:33 pm

Go Bananas and Spring Forth are my bookjig choices. My little one is still just little, so we’ll likely read lots of Pete the Cat and Pigeon books this summer.

106

Mandi On Friday, May 23 at 2:34 pm

Misty Mornings and Cardinals. Here’s three books we want to read this summer: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and When You Reach Me.

I love the Creation and the Ahh Nuts. I have loved Bookjigs for years, but had no idea there were so many to choose from. They are by far my favorite bookmark.

One book I plan on having my kids read ( and I think everyone should have their kids ages 10-20+ read) is Wonder. So important and so moving.

I am not sure what else they will read…in 2 weeks we are flying to India to do volunteer work (for a year!) with Rising Star Outreach. We will be living at a school for children out of leprosy colonies, so it will depend on what books they have in their library!

Lindsay Ann On Friday, May 23 at 2:47 pm

I so agree, Rebecca; everyone should read Wonder!

108

Linda T On Friday, May 23 at 2:35 pm

I like the Floral Pattern and the Wisdom. For books this summer, the Charles Dickens classics. I really like that wisdom bookmark for the bible. I bookmarked that website on my favorites.

109

kristenb On Friday, May 23 at 2:35 pm

Thrive and To The Rescue
My 7 year old son just finished the Lemonade Wars and wants to read the rest of the series. Along with Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragon
I have Longbourn, the Book Thief, Looking for Alaska, Fangirl and Divergent unread but loaded on my Kindle.

110

Sesa On Friday, May 23 at 2:35 pm

I like TWIGS and NIGHT GARDEN. This summer I’m dedicating us to read alouds in addition to regular reading time. I’m aiming to start with “The Wheel on the School” and “The Great Brain” and then see where those take us!

111

Monica On Friday, May 23 at 2:35 pm

Little Stickers and Above It All…my daughter is finishing off the Divergent series…

112

BunnyD On Friday, May 23 at 2:36 pm

Little Stickers and Paradise are my favourites.
Trying to find the latest Mistmantle book by M I McAllister. We love Urchin and the other forest critters. I have found some Enid Blyton that I read as a child so will reread some of those. Famous Five and Secret Seven were fun reads in the summer.

113

Dawn On Friday, May 23 at 2:37 pm

I like Tulip Nectar and Pelican Bay. I have a massive booklist saved in the sticky note app on my phone. I will be reading Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv, Two Sisters by Mary Hogan, and the Happy Life Checklist by Amy Spencer along with anything that looks good when I go on my weekly visit to the library!!

Hooray for the library! I have a good number of books on my Kindle that I get for free or cheap from BookBub, but I sure love going to the library! If I see something on Amazon, or BookBub that interests me and it’s over my budget, I’ll see if the library has it. I may have to go on the wait list, but that’s fine too. Happy reading!

114

Natalie On Friday, May 23 at 2:39 pm

I love Little Stickers and Faith! This summer, I plan to read The Book Thief and (re)-read To Kill a Mockingbird. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

115

Jimmy On Friday, May 23 at 2:39 pm

I like the “Circles and Stars” and “Hope”. I plan on studying for my CCRN this summer. A classic novel might break things up at some point though.

116

MicheinMA On Friday, May 23 at 2:39 pm

So many to pick from….Little Stickers is adorable, so’s Ahh Nuts. I know my daughter would love Stripes.

My son has Percy Jackson, Kingdom Keepers V & Sidekicked on his list to read this summer. My daughter is reading Judy Moody, Superfudge & the Who Was series. I hope to find some time to read, Unlucky 13 & Visitation Street.

117

Tammy S. On Friday, May 23 at 2:39 pm

The 2 bookmarks I like are “Jumbo” and “Nightwatch”. My girls, who are avid readers, would love those. My rising middle schooler wants to finish the “Divergent” series this summer and my rising high schooler is going to get a head start in her Honors English class and read “And Then There Were None”.

Linda R. On Friday, May 23 at 2:42 pm

These are really a neat find! I like “Twigs” and “Spring Forth.” Right now my girls are reading through Voyage of the Dawn Treader together. I am working on their summer reading lists – hoping to motivate them to read good, quality books. One that I want to read (and have my oldest read too) is the Mysterious Benedict Society.

122

Marky Tucker On Friday, May 23 at 2:45 pm

ToniMomofFour On Friday, May 23 at 2:46 pm

Oh, those book marks are soooooo cute! But I’ll buy my own – and probably a few for gifts! As for books, Meredith might love The Historian by E. Kostova. My teens LOVED it, and so did I. Other than that, I always try to steer them to the classics over the summer. We will tackle some Steinbeck and some Hemingway this year. Looking forward to reading all the other recommendations.

127

SHIRLEY MAE On Friday, May 23 at 2:47 pm

I would like the gossipline and amour with the kitty. I don’t have kids but I love to read and I have so many books right now lined up to read I couldn’t list them all. the piles are growing up my walls.

I love her both as JD Robb and Nora Roberts. Just finished Shadow Spell and will start The Collector tonight. I’m looking forward to the next “In Death” book too. I haven’t seen word on when that will be yet.

My son LOVES hedgehogs, so Little Stickers for him, maybe Birds Eye View for me, PurrFection for my cat-loving daughter, Turtle Reef for my turtle-lover, maybe Night Garden?! It would be a hard choice, they’re all so fun! I love when you highlight great products like this that I haven’t seen!

Okay, and books. I want to read the next Highlander book by Diana Gabaldon, even though I HATED the last one. Also, the new Janet Evanovich, though that’s another series I’m kind of ready to wrap up. My son wants to read the third Land of Stories book and the fifth Lorien Legacies book. We’re readers over here.

136

This summer I’ll be reading (rereading….for the millionth time!) the Matthew Reilly trilogy – Seven Ancient Wonders/Six Sacred Stones/Five greatest Warriors. Love love love this author…..I’ve shamelessly be forcefully handing out my well worn copy of Hoover Car Racer which is a fantastic book written for young/teenage boys…..but hey a great book is a great book regardless of its target audience!

140

I love Sweet Nectar, and Olive Branch. I will be reading the Harry Potter books, and going through them much slower than the 1st (or 2nd) time.

We love owls! Midnight Snack and Family Tree are really cute. I hope I win but if I don’t I may purchase a couple for reading rewards this summer or back-to-school gifts. I have several books I want to read this summer. 1)For the Children’s sake 2) Pocketful of Pinecones.

My kids will be checking out books from our local library to read this summer. My son is really into “Frog and Toad” and my daughter is just beginning to read, so early readers for her.

Find the Pioneer Woman on:

Charlie has a brand new children's book out, and it's all about the day a new calf comes into the world! She sleeps in Charlie's bed, hogs all the attention...and hilarity ensues. Hope you and your kiddos enjoy the book!
